Strand/Tybrisa Project Complete!
Ahead of plan and beautiful! Congratulations to our
contractors, thanks to all who put up with the
construction and helped with your input, and best
wishes for a fantastic summer season for the
merchants and the City!
STOP for Pedestrians in Walkways!
Use special caution as the visitors hit our streets
and beaches. REMEMBER, it is Georgia State Law
that vehicles MUST stop for any pedestrian in a
marked cross-walk! Use your flashers and blinkers
and help the pedestrians and other drivers watch
out, because a stopped vehicle may make it difficult
for someone driving in the next lane to see
pedestrians, especially children!
Be smart! Be safe! Be friendly and courteous! It
could be YOUR kids or grandkids at risk!

EXTRA care and courtesy for these international

Georgia DOT Resurfacing Hwy 80 &
